What Am I Forgetting..planning tips wanted!

[pinkdiamonds1007]

I have been posting alot on this board latley. I love it. Thanks to everyone who is helping us plan a magical vacation!
Okay, so I am now looking for tips on planning, I have done our Inierary...planned a dinner show at the Hoop De Doo Review..how is that one by the way? We are staying at All Star Movies..anyone have any experiences they want to share about that resort. I have already picked out every restaruant we are eating at, as we have the dining plan, i thought that would be easiest to figure it out now, since we are the type of people, that would stand their staring at e/o for 1/2 an hour trying to decide. *lol*
So, any advice or input on what to plan next would be great. We have a 3.5 year old daughter, it will be my hubbby, myself, my daughter, grandma and grandpa. Sample scedules on what anyone else has planned with child around the same age would be great and much appreicated.

Thanks so much!!!

Welcome Nicole!

My kids DS.5 and DD1 loved eating a character meal at Crystal Palace with Winnie the Pooh and friends. DD loves the characters and DS likes to see them, but prefers to keep his distance -- character meals are the best way to interact with the characters -- no lines and DD gets all the hugs she wants while DS enjoys watching AND we get a decent meal in the bargain.

Also, build in plenty of time for rest into your schedule. On our last trip, I found that no matter how much I wanted to take my kids to the night shows (Fantasmic, Illuminations, Spectromagic, Wishes), they were bushed at the end of the day and keeping them up past bedtime didn't help them enjoy anything.

Use Fastpass as much as possible. If you ask the CM at the Fastpass distribution, you can get a Babyswap Fastpass for any rides that you and DH might want to go on that your DD can not.

Enjoy your trip!

Hoop Dee Doo is wonderful. We saw it in Nov. with DS5 and DD2.5. Grandma and Grandpa were also there. The food is good too.
